WTO-ITC High-Level Event on Women and Trade

25 March 2026

Yaoundé, Cameroon – Palais des Congrès

ITC, WTO

On the margins of the 14th WTO Ministerial Conference (MC14) in Yaoundé, the World Trade Organization (WTO) Secretariat and the International Trade Centre (ITC) are co-hosting the second edition of the WTO-ITC High-Level Event on Women and Trade.

The event brings together women entrepreneurs, development and corporate partners, and WTO Members to focus on what helps women-led businesses access markets, grow and compete. It will highlight three areas of work: the Women Exporters in the Digital Economy (WEIDE) Fund launched in 2024 by the WTO Secretariat and ITC, the ITC SheTrades Initiative, and the WTO Informal Working Group on Trade and Gender.
